ok so I wanna do a vert to triple my harvest as they say but have no idea how it's done, the 600 vert club forum is long as hell n I tried frm the beginning but no help. What I will be working with:
In a tent 4x4 height is 7'
Lights: I have a 600 hps and a 315 cmh, I want to run these bare and will have no problem cooling the tent down.
Most likely will be doing in soil and pots will be no smaller then 5 gals
Soo I got about 7 clones going, how many pants are ok for a 4x4 and again I'm not sure about this vert process, grow them them tall them drop the bulb in middle? Should I just run one bulb? How should I train in veg and what to do when I flower? Thanks for any help!

Well this is my first vert and want to see how it goes, maybe I can help some ppl starting off, this is week one of flower, I count wen the stretch stops.
IMG_0042.JPG As you can see I upgraded to a second bulb, so a 600 hps and a 315 cmh, I also added my first real inline fan and will be getting a scrubber soon on account of my last grow. I will now tie some of the branches back and cut sum suckers off. Hopefully yields will be poppin.

The one on the left grew to about 4 ft and the one on da right about 3 and a half at flip, they both Stretched a extra foot vertically, most of the stretch was the sides getting closer to the bulb, will try to defoliate a lot more next time. So they are close to 5ft ish and the stretch has stopped. Plenty of room left :hump:

Cool, tuck fans behind your screen when you can, just get them out of the way. You may not need to pluck it and still get it out of the way. It will still provide energy to the bud site. I tuck them until that bud sites other leaves are big enough to support the energy needs.
Here is from my last grow, you can see what I mean by tucking.

Just switched out my lil fan on the bottom for this giant lake breeze to control temps IMG_0048.JPGwhat u guys think, over kill? Hope I don't get wind burn, might just ditch the tripod and mount the lamp straight on the fan

I thought the fan blowing upwards had to be pushing the air slower than your extraction, so as long as it's doing that you should be fine haha.

Welp it's officially the start of week 2IMG_0054.JPGive cut off soo many bid sites prior and it still bushy as all hell, some of my concerns as I go tru this journey
- pots are way too small
Usually I'm using 5 gal or bigger but I didn't this
Run and I am watering every day, but I'm use to
It. these gotta be a 3 and 4 gal pots :wall:
- spacing of the nodes
A lot of em are really stretched. I hope they fill.
Those are the main concerns. And just one other is that they are reaching too close to the bulbs, I hope it's not blocking shit closer to the wall, next time I gotta cut more off, with height comes with a lot of width.
